Ryanair increases baggage and check-in charges

Budget airline Ryanair increased check-in charges today as it continued its drive for passengers to carry hand luggage and use online services.

For all bookings made from today, the airline's checked-in baggage fee will increase from €6 to €9 per bag and the airport check-in fee will increase from €3 to €4.

Ryanair warned they will not be the last such price rises as the airline tries to persuade at least half of all passengers to travel with just hand baggage and check-in via the web.

Company spokesman Peter Sherrard said: “Ryanair remains determined to encourage more and more passengers to travel with carry on luggage only.

“These increased charges will incentivise even more passengers to use our free web check-in service allowing us to cut airport and handling costs and further reduce our guaranteed lowest fares as we grow from 50 million to 60 million passengers in the coming year.”
